A geometric proof of separatrix crossing results

Abstract. We investigate the adiabatic invariance of the action variable of one degree of freedom time-dependent Hamiltonian systems when trajectories cross a separatrix and give relatively simple, geometrically motivated proofs. This is joint work with Shui-Nee Chow.
