Locally cartesian categories

Definitions

A category CC is locally cartesian if each of its slice categories C/xC/x is a cartesian monoidal category, meaning that C/xC/x has all finite products. Another way to say this is that CC has all finite fibred products or equivalently that CC has all pullbacks.

A finitely complete category is precisely a locally cartesian category that has a terminal object.
