Abstract
We first develop a general theory of Johnson filtrations and Johnson homomorphisms for a group acting on another group equipped with a filtration indexed by a "good" ordered commutative monoid. Then, specializing it to the case where the monoid is the additive monoid of pairs on nonnegative integers, we obtain a theory of double Johnson filtrations and homomorphisms. We apply this theory to the mapping class group of a surface with one boundary component, equipped with the normal subgroups , of associated to a standard Heegaard splitting of the -sphere. We also consider the case where the group is the automorphism group of a free group.
