Abstract: | We analyze the motion of an overdamped classical particle in a multidimensional periodic potential, driven by an external noise. We demonstrate that in the steady state the presence of temporal correlations in the noise and spatial asymmetry within a period of the potential could lead to particle rotation. The rotation is a direct consequence of a change in the sign of the noise-induced drift motion in each dimension. By choosing different potentials, we can generate a variety of flow patterns from laminar drifts to rotations. |
