We study properties of $A^p_α$ spaces in the Dirichlet range, recently defined by Brevig, Kulikov, Seip and Zlotnikov as the set of all holomorphic functions on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ such that \[ \int_{\mathbb{D}} |f(z)|^{p-2} |f'(z)|^2 (1 - |z|^2)^α \, dA(z) < \infty, \] when $0<α< 1$ and $p > 0$. We answer in the negative two questions posed by Brevig et al. by showing that, if $p\ne2$ and $p > \frac{1}{2}$, $A^p_α$ is not a vector space and that the norm is in general not increasing in $p$. This is achieved by means of an equivalent description for $A^p_α$ which is given in terms of the Poisson integral of the boundary function of its inhabitants. Such norm also leads to a description of $A^p_α$ functions in the Dirichlet range given in terms of their inner and outer factors. As a corollary, we show that $A^1_α$ is contained in the weak product of a Dirichlet-type space.

Bishop operators $T_α$ acting on $L^2[0,1)$ were proposed by E. Bishop in the fifties as possible operators which might entail counterexamples for the Invariant Subspace Problem. We prove that all the Bishop operators are biquasitriangular and, derive as a consequence that they are norm limits of nilpotent operators. Moreover, by means of arithmetical techniques along with a theorem of Atzmon, the set of irrationals $α\in (0,1)$ for which $T_α$ is known to possess non-trivial closed invariant subspaces is considerably enlarged, extending previous results by Davie, MacDonald and Flattot. Furthermore, we essentially show that when our approach fails to produce invariant subspaces it is actually because Atzmon Theorem cannot be applied. Finally, upon applying arithmetical bounds obtained, we deduce local spectral properties of Bishop operators proving, in particular, that neither of them satisfy the Dunford property $(C)$.

The Dunford property $(C)$ for composition operators on $H^p$-spaces ($1<p<\infty$), as well as for their adjoints, is completely characterized within the class of those induced by linear fractional transformations of the unit disc. As a consequence, it is shown that the Dunford property is stable in such a class addressing a particular instance of a question posed by Laursen and Neumann.
