Abstract: For every integer ggeq1 we define a universal Mumford curve of genus g in the framework of Berkovich spaces over mathbbZ. This is achieved in two steps: first, we build an analytic space mathcalSg that parametrizes marked Schottky groups over all valued fields. We show that mathcalSg is an open, connected analytic space over mathbbZ. Then, we prove that the Schottky uniformization of a given curve behaves well with respect to the topology of mathcalSg, both locally and globally. As a result, we can define the universal Mumford curve mathcalCg as a relative curve over mathcalSg such that every Schottky uniformized curve can be described as a fiber of a point in mathcalSg. We prove that the curve mathcalCg is itself uniformized by a universal Schottky group acting on the relative projective line mathbbPmathcalSg1. Finally, we study the action of the group Out(Fg) of outer automorphisms of the free group with g generators on mathcalSg, describing the quotient in the archimedean and non-archimedean cases. We apply this result to compare the non-archimedean Schottky space with constructions arising from geometric group theory and the theory of moduli spaces of tropical curves.
