Abstract

We study the boundary behavior of functions in spaces of Dirichlet-type by using non-linear capacities generalizing the logarithmic capacity. We use these capacities to obtain information about the invariant subspaces of the shift operator. As an application, we prove an analogue of a conjecture of Brown and Shields when the space is weighted by the Poisson integral of a finite sum of atoms.
