Abstract:
We propose a minimal model for the emergence of a directed flow in autonomous hamiltonian systems. It is shown that internal breaking of the spatiotemporal symmetries, via localized initial conditions, which are unbiased with respect to the transporting degree of freedom, and transient chaos conspire to form the physical mechanism for the occurrence of a current. Most importantly, after passage through the transient chaos, trajectories perform solely regular transporting motion so that the resulting current is of continual ballistic nature. This has to be distinguished from the features of transport reported previously for driven hamiltonian systems with mixed phase space where transport is determined by intermittent behavior exhibiting power-law decay statistics of the duration of regular ballistic periods.
