The OS algebra A of a matroid M is a graded algebra related to the Whitney homology of the lattice of flats of M. In case M is the underlying matroid of a hyperplane arrangementAin ℂr,Ais isomorphic to the cohomology algebra of the complement ℂr∖∪A. Few examples are known of pairs of arrangements with non-isomorphic matroids but isomorphic OS algebras. In all known examples, the Tutte polynomials are identical, and the complements are homotopy equivalent but not homeomorphic.We construct, for any given simple matroidM0, a pair of infinite families of matroidsMnandMn′,n≥ 1, each containingM0as a submatroid, in which corresponding pairs have isomorphicOSalgebras. If the seed matroidM0is connected, thenMnandMn′have different Tutte polynomials. As a consequence of the construction, we obtain, for any m, m different matroids with isomorphic OS algebras. Suppose one is given a pair of central complex hyperplane arrangementsA0andA1. LetSdenote the arrangement consisting of the hyperplane {0} in ∪1. We define the parallel connectionP(A0,A1), an arrangement realizing the parallel connection of the underlying matroids, and show that the direct sumsA0⊕A1andS⊕P(A0,A1) have diffeomorphic complements.
