We analyze directed transport of overdamped Brownian particles in a 1D
spatially periodic potential that art subjected to both zero-mean the
rmal equilibrium Nyquist noise and zero-mean exponentially correlated
dichotomous fluctuations. We show that particles can reverse the direc
tion of average motion upon a variation of noise parameters if two fun
damental symmetries, namely, the reflection symmetry of the spatial pe
riodic structure, and the statistical symmetry of dichotomous fluctuat
ions, are broken. There is a critical thermal noise intensity D-c, or
equivalently a critical temperature T-c, at which the mean velocity of
particles is zero. Below T-c and above T-c particles move in opposite
directions. At fixed temperature, there is a region of noise paramete
rs in which particles of different linear size are transported in oppo
site directions.
