The Generalized Two Conjecture for quadratic number fields

From papers

Let χ1\chi_1 and χ2\chi_2 be nontrivial, primitive Dirichlet characters modulo q1q_1 and q2q_2, respectively, with χ1χ2(1)=1\chi_1\chi_2(-1)=1. Let Fχ1,χ2F_{\chi_1,\chi_2} be the smallest number field containing the values of χ1\chi_1 and χ2\chi_2, let Z[χ1,χ2]\mathbb{Z}[\chi_1,\chi_2] denote its ring of integers, and let Sχ1,χ2S_{\chi_1,\chi_2} be the generalized Dedekind sum. Generalized Two Conjecture. If Fχ1,χ2F_{\chi_1,\chi_2} is a quadratic number field, then

Sχ1,χ2(Γ1(q1q2))=2Z[χ1,χ2].S_{\chi_1,\chi_2}(\Gamma_1(q_1q_2))=2\mathbb{Z}[\chi_1,\chi_2].

This generalizes the quadratic-character case by allowing the character-value field to be any quadratic number field. The claim is motivated by limited computations and is presented as an open generalization in the supplied source.
