Abstract: The chemical potential $mu$ of a many-body system is valuable since it carries fingerprints of phase changes. Here, we summarize results for $mu$ for a thre e-dimensional electron liquid in terms of average kinetic and potential energie s per particle. The difference between $mu$ and the energy per particle is fou nd to be exactly the electrostatic potential step at the surface. We also prese nt calculations for an integrable one-dimensional many-body system with delta f unction interactions, exhibiting a BCS-BEC crossover. It is shown that in the B CS regime the chemical potential can be expressed solely in terms of the ground -state energy per particle. A brief discussion is also included of the strong c oupling BEC limit.
