Abstract: The phase space of an integrable, volume-preserving map with one action and d angles is foliated by a one-parameter family of d-dimensional invariant tori. Perturbations of such a system may lead to chaotic dynamics and transport. We show that near a rank-one, resonant torus these mappings can be reduced to volume-preserving "standard maps." These have twist only when the image of the frequency map crosses the resonance curve transversely. We show that these maps can be approximated---using averaging theory---by the usual area-preserving twist or nontwist standard maps. The twist condition appropriate for the volume-preserving setting is shown to be distinct from the nondegeneracy condition used in (volume-preserving) KAM theory.
