Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be either the mapping class group of a closed surface of genus $geq2$, or the automorphism group of a free group of rank $geq3$. Given any homological representation $ho$ of $Gamma$ corresponding to a finite cover, and any term $mathcal{I}_k$ of the Johnson filtration, we show that $ho(mathcal{I}_k)$ has finite index in $ho(mathcalI)$, the Torelli subgroup of $Gamma$. Since $[mathcalI:mathcal{I}_k]=infty$ for $k>1$, this implies for instance that no such representation is faithful.
