Abstract: Using a definition of Euler characteristic for fractionally-graded complexes based on roots of unity, we show that the Euler characteristics of Dowlin's "$mathfraksl(n)$-like" Heegaard Floer knot invariants $HF{K}_n$ recover both Alexander polynomial evaluations and $mathfraksl(n)$ polynomial evaluations at certain roots of unity for links in $S^3$. We show that the equality of these evaluations can be viewed as the decategorified content of the conjectured spectral sequences relating $mathfraksl(n)$ homology and $HF{K}_n$.
