Reduce dimensional quantum criticality for Non-Fermi liquids

We present a reduced dimension theoretical framework for studying quantum field theories at finite density, providing a tractable model for investigating non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior near quantum phase transitions. Our approach departs from the standard paradigm by placing bosons and fermions in different spatial dimensions: bosonic fields reside in a $(d+1)$-dimensional bulk, while fermionic fields are confined on a $d$-dimensional boundary. This dimensional separation significantly simplifies the renormalization group (RG) analysis of gapless boson-fermion coupling. We demonstrate that the tree-level boson exchange contributions, which typically exhibit logarithmic divergences, become finite in our reduced-dimension scheme. Furthermore, the $\log^2$ and $\log^3$ divergences that characterize 1-loop four-fermion interactions in conventional treatments are reduced to logarithmic divergences within this framework, substantially improving the convergence properties of the perturbative expansion and allowing controlled theoretical analysis of NFL physics.

Heat Equation from Exact Renormalization Group Equation (ERGE) at Local Potential Approximation (LPA)

By simply applying the Local Potential Approximation (LPA) on the Polchinski's Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) flow equation for single Bosonic and spinless Fermionic fields, and initially considering only the coarse-graining (blocking) aspect of Wilson's Renormalization Group program. Within the LPA limit the Polchinski's ERG flow equation simplifies into a heat differential equation for both Bosonic and Fermionic fields. Solving the differential equations leads to logarithmic interactions (logarithmic vertex function) in both Bosonic and Fermionic fields at their fixed points.
