Sep 20, 2020 at 8:19 comment added Max Alekseyev It do not see how exactly "rewriting" of the formulae works here, but they can be viewed as an application of the inclusion-exclusion principle applied to the sets $$\{x\in [n]\ :\ p_i\mid x\}.$$

Mar 9, 2020 at 11:24 comment added Wlod AA $\sum_{k=0}^n(-1)^k\cdot\binom nk = 0\ $ because $(n-1)$-simplex is acyclic. Also, $\ \sum_{k=0}^n (-1)^k\cdot 2^{n-k}\cdot\binom nk = 1\ $ because $n$-cube is acyclic, etc.
Mar 9, 2020 at 10:50 comment added Wlod AA Euler characteristic is based on the equation between the alternative sums of ranks of two kinds of groups (chains vs homology). Do you have two seemingly unrelated kinds of objects, etc. ?
Mar 9, 2020 at 1:58 comment added Will Sawin we can write $\omega( \prod_{x\in A} x ) $ as the sum over $p<n$ of $1$ if $p$ divides $x$ for some $x$ in $A$ and $0$ otherwise. Exchanging the order of summation proves your identity. This makes me think, if it's an Euler characteristic, this will just be a space that is a disjoint union over the primes.

Mar 8, 2020 at 20:04 comment added Dabed +1, I had never seen this identity pretty cool it if I understand correctly it gives 0 because it is an inclusion-exclusion formula, I read this question and came back to see if someone answered but it was deleted so is nice too see it back
