Irrational invariants from D-brane superpotentials are pursued on the mirror quintic, systematically according to the degree of a representative curve. Lines are completely understood: the contribution from isolated lines vanishes. All other lines can be deformed holomorphically to the van Geemen lines, whose superpotential is determined via the associated inhomogeneous Picard-Fuchs equation. Substantial progress is made for conics: the families found by Mustata contain conics reducible to isolated lines, hence they have a vanishing superpotential. The search for all conics invariant under a residual Z2 symmetry reduces to an algebraic problem at the limit of our computational capabilities. The main results are of arithmetic flavor: the extension of the moduli space by the algebraic cycle splits in the large complex structure limit into groups each governed by an algebraic number field. The expansion coefficients of the superpotential around large volume remain irrational. The integrality of those coefficients is revealed by a new, arithmetic twist of the di-logarithm: the D-logarithm. There are several options for attempting to explain how these invariants could arise from the A-model perspective. A successful spacetime interpretation will require spaces of BPS states to carry number theoretic structures, such as an action of the Galois group.
