24. A preliminary discussion of this idea, as well as its connection with multidimensional bosonization, was presented earlier by one of us [25]. A similar idea has been independently discussed by B. Swingle [26], based on a gapless mode-counting argument which is equivalent to our toy model. In this present work, we construct the local degrees of freedom explicitly via high-dimensional bosonization, and we use the constructed bosonic theory to compute the entanglement entropy directly. We also generalize the calculation to include Fermi-liquid interaction in a special geometry, which is nontrivial and shows a subleading contribution of approximately O{eth}1{Thorn} _ logL that cannot be accounted for by mode counting.
