On the conformal bootstrap:

Discussion of small N effects in M-theory using the conformal bootstrap:

Specifically for the D=6 N=(2,0) SCFT on the M5-brane via AdS7/CFT6:

from p. 2:

On the other hand, given our utter lack of a complete description of M-theory, the bulk is not terribly useful for determining finite aspects of the dual CFT. However, we can turn this problem around using the modern perspective of the conformal bootstrap, which gives an a priori independent formulation of the (local sector of the) CFT. This provides an independent tool for constructing M-theory at the non-perturbative level, a philosophy that we will substantiate in this work.
