We prove that on any two-dimensional lattice of qudits of a prime dimension, every translation invariant Pauli stabilizer group with local generators and with the code distance being the linear system size is decomposed by a local Clifford circuit of constant depth into a finite number of copies of the toric code stabilizer group (Abelian discrete gauge theory). This means that under local Clifford circuits, the number of toric code copies is the complete invariant of topological Pauli stabilizer codes. Previously, the same conclusion was obtained under the assumption of nonchirality for qubit codes or the Calderbank–Shor–Steane structure for prime qudit codes; we do not assume any of these.
