Abstract: We prove that the Fibonacci quantum representations $h{o}_{g,n}:m{Mod}_{g,n}omPU(p,q)$ for $(g,n)in(0,4),(0,5),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1)$ are holonomy representations of complex hyperbolic structures on some compactifications of the corresponding moduli spaces $mathcal{M}_{g,n}$. As a corollary, the forgetful map between the corresponding compactifications of $mathcal{M}_{1,3}$ and $mathcal{M}_{1,2}$ is a surjective holomorphic map between compact complex hyperbolic orbifolds of different dimensions higher than one, giving an answer to a problem raised by Siu. The proof consists in computing their Toledo invariants: we put this computation in a broader context, replacing the Fibonacci representations with any Hermitian modular functor and extending the Toledo invariant to a full series of cohomological invariants beginning with the signature $p-q$. We prove that these invariants satisfy the axioms of a Cohomological Field Theory and compute the $R$-matrix at first order (hence the usual Toledo invariants) in the case of the $m{SU}_2/m{SO}_3$-quantum representations at any level.
