Abstract: We discuss when two rational functions

f

and

g

can have the same measure of maximal entropy. The polynomial case was completed by (Beardon, Levin, Baker-Eremenko,Schmidt-Steinmetz, etc., 1980s-90s), and we address the rational case following Levin-Przytycki (1997). We show:

m u_{f} = m u_{g}

implies that

f

and

g

share an iterate (

f^{n} = g^{m}

for some

n

and

m

) for general

f

with degree

d g e q 3

. And for generic

f i n R a t_{d g e q 3}

,

m u_{f} = m u_{g}

implies

g = f^{n}

for some

n g e q 1

. For generic

f i n R a t_{2}

,

m u_{f} = m u_{g}

implies that

g = f^{n}

or

s i g m a_{f} c i r c f^{n}

for some

n g e q 1

, where

s i g m a_{f} i n P S L_{2} (C)

permutes two points in each fiber of

f

. Finally, we construct examples of

f

and

g

with

m u_{f} = m u_{g}

such that

f^{n} e q s i g m a c i r c g^{m}

for any

s i g m a i n P S L_{2} (C)

and

m, n g e q 1

.
