Let \(V\) be a finite-dimensional vector space over a field \(\Phi\) and let \(\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle\) be a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form defined on \(V\). Then \(V\) is an \(n\)-ary algebra of a vector product if there is an \(n\)-ary semilinear operation \([\cdot,\dots,\cdot]\) possessing the following properties: (i) \(\langle [a_1,\dots,a_n],a_i\rangle =0\) for all \(a_i\in V\), \(i=1,\dots,n\); (ii) \(\langle [a_1,\dots,a_n],[a_1,\dots,a_n]\rangle =\det(\langle a_i,a_j\rangle)\) for all \(a_1,\dots,a_n\in V.\) The author proves that any \(n\)-ary algebra of a vector product is an \(n\)-ary central simple Mal'tsev algebra.
