| contents | We study the behaviour of the Casson invariant $λ$, its square, and Othsuki's second invariant $λ_2$ as functions on the Johnson subgroup of the mapping class group. We show that since $λ$ and $d_2 = λ_2 - 18 λ^2$ are invariants that are morphisms on respectively the second and the third level of the Johnson filtration they never vanish on any level of this filtration. In contrast we prove that the invariant $λ_2-18λ^2 +3λ$ vanishes on the fifth level of the Johnson filtration, $\mathcal{M}_{g,1}(5)$, and as a consequence we prove that, for instance, the Poincaré homology sphere does not admit any Heegaard splitting with gluing map an element in $\mathcal{M}_{g,1}(5)$. Finally we determine a surgery formula for Othsuki's second invariant $λ_2$. |
