Our focus is on extensions of the form $1KGQ1$, where $Q$ is an abelian group acting trivially on $H_1(K;Z)$, with suitable modifications in the rational and mod-$p$ settings. We find a tight relationship between the Alexander invariants, the characteristic varieties, and the resonance varieties of the groups $K$ and $G$. This leads to an inequality between the respective Chen ranks, which becomes an equality in degrees greater than 1 for split extensions.
