Line operators of gauge theories on non-spin manifolds

We study four-dimensional gauge theories on oriented and non-spin spacetime manifolds. On such manifolds, each line operator arises only either as a boson or a fermion. Based on physical arguments, a method of systematically assigning spin labels to line operators is proposed, and several consistency checks are performed. This is used to classify all possible sets of allowed line operators - including their spins - for gauge theories with simple Lie algebras. The Lagrangian descriptions of the theories with these sets of allowed line operators are given. Finally, the one-form symmetries of these theories are studied by coupling to background gauge fields, and their 't Hooft anomalies are computed.
