Symmetries and Transport with Quasiperiodic Driving

S. Flach, S. Denisov

We generalize recent studies of particle transport to the case of quasiperiodic potentials with quasiperiodic driving. We obtain the relevant set of space-time symmetries and the way of violating them in order to obtain directed transport. Numerical results confirm the predicted rectification for the dissipationless case.
