For a polynomial map the measure of maximal entropy is the equilibrium measure for the logarithm potential in the Julia set [1], [4].

Here we will show that in the case where f is a rational map such that f(∞) = ∞ and the Julia set is bounded, then the two measures mentioned above are equal if and only if f is a polynomial.
