Abstract
Let be polynomials of degree with disconnected Julia sets. We prove that they have the same Lyapunov exponent if and only if either and are intertwined, or and are intertwined. The analogous result for critical heights is also obtained. As an application, we provide a new proof of the theorem stating that the multiplier spectrum morphism on the moduli space of polynomials is generically injective.
