A Blaschke-type condition for analytic and subharmonic functions and   application to contraction operators
  Let $E$ be a closed set on the unit circle. We find a Blaschke-type condition, optimal in a sense of the order, on the Riesz measure of a subharmonic function $v$ in the unit disk with a certain growth at the direction of $E$. In particular case when $E$ is a finite set, and $v=\log|f|$ with an analytic function $f$, our result agrees with the recent one by A. Borichev, L. Golinskii and S. Kupin. An application to contractions close to unitary operators in the Hilbert space is given.
