We present several examples where moments of creators and annihilators on an interacting Fock space may be realized as moments of creators and annihilators on a full Fock module.Motivated by this experience we answer the question, whether such a possibility exists for arbitrary interacting Fock spaces, in the affirmative sense.We treat the problem in full algebraic generality.As a by-product, we find a new notion of positivity for * -algebras which allows to construct tensor products of Hilbert modules over * -algebras.Finally, we consider a subcategory of interacting Fock spaces which are embeddable into a usual full Fock space.We see that a creator a * (f ) on the interacting Fock space is represented by an operator κℓ * (f ), where ℓ * (f ) is a usual creator on the full Fock space and κ is an operator which does not change the number of particles.In the picture of Hilbert modules the one-particle sector is replaced by a two-sided module over an algebra which contains κ.Therefore, κ may be absorbed into the creator, so that we are concerned with a usual creator.However, this creator does not act on a Fock space, but rather on a Fock module.
