Summary: Let $T$ be an absolutely continuous contraction acting on a Hilbert space. Its boundary set $X_T$ can be seen as a localization, on a Borel subset of the unit circle ${\mathbb T}$, of a sequence condition whose validity on all of ${\mathbb T}$ is equivalent to membership of $T$ in the class${\mathbb A}_{\aleph_0}$. The main result is the following: if $b$ is a Blaschke product of degree $d$ for which there exist $d$ distinct Möbius transforms $u$ such that $b\circ u=b$, then $b(X_T)=X_{b(T)}$.

Keywords: Absolutely continuous contraction, dual algebra theory, classes ${\mathbb A}_{n,m}$, boundary sets
