We study directed transport in classical and quantum area-preserving maps,
periodic in space and momentum. On the classical level, we show that a sum
rule excludes directed transport of the entire phase space, leaving only th
e possibility of transport in (dynamically defined) subsets, such as regula
r islands or chaotic areas. As a working example, we construct a mapping wi
th a mixed phase space where both the regular and the chaotic components su
pport directed currents, but with opposite sign. The corresponding quantum
system shows transport of similar strength, associated to the same subsets
of phase space as in the classical map.
