A continuous one-parameter set of binary operators on L2(R) called fractional convolution operators and which includes those of multiplication and convolution as particular cases is constructed by means of the Condon-Bargmann fractional Fourier transform. A fractional convolution theorem generalizes the standard Fourier convolution theorems and a fractional unit distribution generalizes the unit and delta distributions. Some explicit double-integral formulas for the fractional convolution between two functions are given and the induced operation between their corresponding Wigner distributions is found.
