contents 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.
