Abstract. We generalize the concept of the Littlewood-Richardson sequence associated with an invariant subspace of a nilpotent operator on a finite dimensional vector space to the context of $C_0$-contractions. The similarity invariants of nilpotent operators (decreasing sequences of sizes of the Jordan blocks) are replaced by the quasisimilarity invariants of $C_0$-contractions (sequences of inner functions).
