Abstract: The Universal Teichm"uller Space, T(1), is a universal parameter space for all Riemann surfaces. In earlier work of the first author it was shown that one can canonically associate infinite- dimensional period matrices to the coadjoint orbit manifold Diff(S1)/Mobius(S1) -- which resides within T(1) as the (Kirillov-Kostant) submanifold of ``smooth points of T(1). We now extend that period mapping Pi to the entire Universal Teichm"uller space utilizing the theory of the Sobolev space H1/2(S1). Pi is an equivariant injective holomorphic immersion of T(1) into Universal Siegel Space, and we describe the Schottky locus utilizing Connes' ``quantum calculus. There are connections to string theory. Universal Teichm"uller Space contains also the separable complex submanifold T(Hinfty) -- the Teichm"uller space of the universal hyperbolic lamination. Genus-independent constructions like the universal period mapping proceed naturally to live on this completion of the classical Teichm"uller spaces. We show that T(Hinfty) carries a natural convergent Weil-Petersson pairing.
