We introduce a class of "weakly asymptotically hyperbolic" geometries whosesectional curvatures tend to $-1$ and are $C^0$, but are not necessarily $C^1$,conformally compact. We subsequently investigate the rate at which curvatureinvariants decay at infinity, identifying a conformally invariant tensor whichserves as an obstruction to "higher order decay" of the Riemann curvatureoperator. Finally, we establish Fredholm results for geometric ellipticoperators, extending the work of Rafe Mazzeo and John M. Lee to this setting.As an application, we show that any weakly asymptotically hyperbolic metric isconformally related to a weakly asymptotically hyperbolic metric of constantnegative curvature.
