Description
On the bulk side of the AdS/CFT correspondence, there is a TFT that controls which combinations of line operators are mutually local in the gauge theory side. We show that this TFT can be used to reproduce the line-operator classification of 4d gauge theories of Aharony, Tachikawa, and Seiberg.
