Definition

The phrase cartesian functor has been used in category theory with several different (but related) meanings.

Because of this ambiguity, it is perhaps always better to use a more precise term such as “(strong) morphism of fibrations”, “cartesian monoidal functor” or “finite product preserving functor”, and “finitely continuous functor” or “lex functor”.
