Abstract: Let $Y$ be a closed $3$-manifold such that all flat $SU(2)$-connections on $Y$ are $non$-$degenerate$. In this article, we prove a Uhlenbeck-type compactness theorem on $Y$ for stable flat $SL(2,mathbbC)$ connections satisfying an $L^2$-bound for the real curvature. Combining the compactness theorem and a previous result in cite{Huang}, we prove that the moduli space of the stable flat $SL(2,mathbbC)$ connections is disconnected under certain technical assumptions.
