In previous papers [11,12,13], certain spaces of generalized functions were studied from the point of view of fractional calculus. In this paper, we show how a Hankel transform Hv of order v can be defined on for all complex numbers v except for those lying on a countable number of lines of the form Re v = constant in the complex v-plane. The mapping properties of Hv on are obtained. Various connections between Hv (or modifications of Hv) and operators of fractional integration are examined.
