Zusammenfassung:A unifying view on several astonishing effects induced by state dependent, uncorrelated fluctuations (multiplicative white noise) is presented. The main emphasis of our introductory discussion is put on the basic physical mechanisms at work in a white noise driven “pulsating ratchet”, noise-induced non-equilibrium phase transitions, and their synthesis in the form of coupled Brownian motors.
