We prove that the first complex homology of the Johnson subgroup of the Torelli group Tg​ is a non-trivial, unipotent Tg​-module for all g≥4 and give an explicit presentation of it as a Sym∙​H1​(Tg​,C)-module when g≥6. We do this by proving that, for a finitely generated group G satisfying an assumption close to formality, the triviality of the restricted characteristic variety implies that the first homology of its Johnson kernel is a nilpotent module over the corresponding Laurent polynomial ring, isomorphic to the infinitesimal Alexander invariant of the associated graded Lie algebra of G. In this setup, we also obtain a precise nilpotence test.
