quasitopos
A quasitopos is a category which is finitely complete, finitely cocomplete, locally cartesian closed, and has a regular subobject classifier. This gives the category properties similar to those of an elementary topos; a major difference is that a quasitopos need not be balanced.
Note that some authors use a strong subobject classifier in place of a regular subobject classifier in the definition, i.e. a morphism which classifies strong monomorphisms. For the equivalence of these definitions, see MSE/4335533.
