Abstract
We prove the quantum modularity of the signature of -TQFT for a genus 2 surface, which was conjectured by March\'{e}--Masbaum in 2025. Our approach is based on a quantum modularity of generalized Dedekind sums associated with general modular forms. In the case of Eisenstein series for , these generalized Dedekind sums admit trigonometric sum expressions, which coincide with the formula for the -TQFT signature. Furthermore, we express both the -TQFT and generalized Dedekind sums as radial limits of Eichler integrals.
