## Abstract

We discuss contraction operators T in the class C·0∩A with defect index dT < ∞, where A is the class of absolutely continuous contractions for which the Sz.-Nagy-Foiaş functional calculus is an isometry. We show that these form particularly nice representatives of the classes ${\mathrm{A}}_{\mathrm{n},{\mathrm{\aleph }}_{0}}$ since their membership is completely determined by the multiplicity of either the shift piece of their Jordan model or the unitary piece of their minimal coisometric extension.
