Abstract: We study symmetry breaking of solitons in the framework of a nonlinear fractional Schr"{o}dinger equation (NLFSE), characterized by its L'{e}vy index, with cubic nonlinearity and a symmetric double-well potential. Asymmetric, symmetric, and antisymmetric soliton solutions are found, with stable asymmetric soliton solutions emerging from unstable symmetric and antisymmetric ones by way of symmetry-breaking bifurcations. Two different bifurcation scenarios are possible. First, symmetric soliton solutions undergo a symmetry-breaking bifurcation of the pitchfork type, which gives rise to a branch of asymmetric solitons, under the action of the self-focusing nonlinearity. Second, a family of asymmetric solutions branches off from antisymmetric states in the case of self-defocusing nonlinearity through a bifurcation of an inverted-pitchfork type. Systematic numerical analysis demonstrates that increase of the L'{e}vy index leads to shrinkage or expansion of the symmetry-breaking region, depending on parameters of the double-well potential. Stability of the soliton solutions is explored following the variation of the L'{e}vy index, and the results are confirmed by direct numerical simulations.
