Let
=(
n)n
1 be a log concave sequence such that lim infn
+
n/nc>0 for some c>0 and ((log
n)/n
)n
1 is nonincreasing for some
<1/2. We show that, if T is a contraction on the Hilbert space with spectrum a Carleson set, and if ||Tn||=O(
n) as n tends to +
with
n
11/(n log
n)=+
, then T is unitary. On the other hand, if
n
11/(n log
n)<+
, then there exists a (non-unitary) contraction T on the Hilbert space such that the spectrum of T is a Carleson set, ||Tn||=O(
n) as n tends to +
, and lim supn
+
||Tn||=+
.
