contents Starting from holography, we derive the symmetry TFT for $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM with $\mathfrak{so}(2n)$ gauge algebra, including terms which were previously unaccounted for holographically, by considering the action of the symmetry TFT on manifolds with torsion cycles. We then study gapped boundary conditions of the symmetry TFT and show how they correspond to the global forms and discrete theta angles studied by Hsin and Lam, including their higher group and non-invertible symmetries and anomalies. In particular, we analyse the case of theories with disconnected gauge groups. Considering the action of S-duality on the boundary conditions then leads to predictions for S-duality between these theories.
