Can this be interpreted as one Euler characteristic?
Let $[n]:=\{1,\cdots,n\}$. It is known that $\{\log(p) \mid p \text{ is prime }\}$ is linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. For a subset $A \subset [n]$ we can consider the matrix $L(A):=(\log(x) \...

Euler characteristic of local system depends only on rank?
Let $X$ be a proper variety over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, and let $\mathcal F$ be a finite rank $\mathbb F_\ell$ local system on (the etale site of) $X$. Is it true (and, if so, ...

Is this line of thought (using linear algebra to get number theoretic results) already being pursued in the literature?
Let $Log(n) = \sum_{i=1}^r \alpha_i \cdot e_i$, where $n = \prod_{i=1}^r p_i^{\alpha_i}$ and $p_i$ is the $i$-th prime, $\alpha_i \ge 0$, $e_i$ is the $i$-th standard basis vector. For example $6 = 2\...

Partial sums of Möbius function and Euler characteristic of a simplicial complex for closed sets of a topology on the prime powers?
In A cell complex in number theory by Anders Björner, 2011 a number theoretic cell complex is described which has the property that the Euler characteristic is related to the Mertens function:
$$M(n) =...
