Abstract: The theory of adiabatic invariants has a long history and important applications in physics but is rarely rigorous. Here we treat exactly the general time-dependent 1-D harmonic oscillator, ddotq+omega2(t)q=0 which cannot be solved in general. We follow the time-evolution of an initial ensemble of phase points with sharply defined energy E0 and calculate rigorously the distribution of energy E1 after time T, and all its moments, especially its average value and variance mu2. Using our exact WKB-theory to all orders we get the exact result for the leading asymptotic behaviour of mu2.
