Partially commutative tensor algebras occur naturally in the algebraic formulation of Wightman field theory. A state on an algebra of this type leads via GNS‐construction to a partially commutative family of hermitean operators on Hilbert space. We discuss the question when these operators can be extended to self adjoint operators preserving the commutation properties and state a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such an extension in terms of a positivity property of the state.
