We consider the periodic non-linear Schrödinger equation with non-linearity given by |u| p−1 u for odd p > 1 in dimension 1. We first establish that the difference between the non-linear evolution and a phase rotation of the the linear evolution is in a smoother space. We then study forced and damped defocusing non-linear Schrödinger equations of the above type and establish an analogous smoothing statement that extends globally in time. As a corollary we establish both existence and smootheness for global attractors in the energy space.
