Abstract: The punctured solenoid S is an initial object for the category of punctured surfaces with morphisms given by finite covers branched only over the punctures. The (decorated) Teichm"uller space of S is introduced, studied, and found to be parametrized by certain coordinates on a fixed triangulation of S. Furthermore, a point in the decorated Teichm"uller space induces a polygonal decomposition of S giving a combinatorial description of its decorated Teichm"uller space itself. This is used to obtain a non-trivial set of generators of the modular group of S, which is presumably the main result of this paper. Moreover, each word in these generators admits a normal form, and the natural equivalence relation on normal forms is described. There is furthermore a non-degenerate modular group invariant two form on the Teichm"uller space of S. All of this structure is in perfect analogy with that of the decorated Teichm"uller space of a punctured surface of finite type.
