Abstract
We consider transport properties of a double delta-kicked system, in a regime where all the symmetries (spatial and temporal) that could prevent directed transport are removed. We analytically investigate the (non trivial) behavior of the classical current and diffusion properties and show that the results are in good agreement with numerical computations. The role of dissipation for a meaningful classical ratchet behavior is also discussed.
