Note on the chemical potential of decoupled matter in the Universe

Textbooks on cosmology exhibit a thermodynamic inconsistency for free streaming, decoupled matter. It is connected here to the chemical potential, which deviates from its equilibrium value $μ=αk_BT$, where $α$ is the usual parameter of the Fermi-Dirac or Bose-Einstein distribution function.
