Abstract
We formulate an exact result, which we refer to as the pumping restriction theorem (PRT). It imposes strong restrictions on the currents generated by periodic driving in a generic dissipative system with detailed balance, and provides a universal nonperturbative approach to explore the stochastic pump effect in nonadiabatically driven systems.
