Abstract: A few years ago, K.Costello proposed how to isolate a self-contained, protected subsector of the M2 brane $AdS_4/CFT_3$ correspondence and demonstrated the holographic duality explicitly for the OPE of the corresponding boundary local operators. The construction can be naturally extended to protected correlation functions, but several new challenges arise. I will discuss how to take the large N limit on the $CFT_3$ side of the story.
