Title: Classical Categories and deep inference

Abstract:
Deep inference is a proof-theoretic notion in which proof
rules apply arbitrarily deeply inside a formula. We show
that the essense of deep inference is the bifunctorality of the
connectives. We demonstrate that, when given an inequational
theory that models cut-reduction, a deep inference
calculus for classical logic (SKSg) is a categorical model of
the classical sequent calculus LK in the sense of F¨uhrmann
and Pym. We uncover a mismatch between this notion of
cut-reduction and the usual notion of cut in SKSg. Viewing
SKSg as a model of the sequent calculus uncovers new insights
into the Craig interpolation lemma and intuitionistic
provablility.
