I will describe an example of the AdS/CFT correspondence between a 4d N=1 SCFT arising from a mass deformation of N=4 SYM theory and an AdS_5 flux background of type IIB string theory. The SCFT does not admit a weakly coupled description which makes the calculation of its correlation functions challenging. Instead, I will consider a consistent trunctation of the bulk supergravity theory to explicitly compute two- and three-point correlation functions in the planar limit of the CFT. A qualitatively new feature is the presence of unprotected multiplets in the supergravity spectrum. As a non-trivial consistency check of our results, I will show agreement with superconformal Ward identities in the 4d N=1 SCFT. Based on work in progress with Nikolay Bobev.
