Title: Orlik-Terao algebras and internal zonotopal algebras

 
Abstract: In 2017 Moseley, Proudfoot, and Young conjectured that the reduced Orlik-Terao algebra of the braid matroid was isomorphic as a symmetric group representation to the cohomology of a certain configuration space. This was proved by Pagaria in 2022. We generalize Pagaria's result from the braid arrangement to arbitrary hyperplane arrangements and recover a new proof in the case of the braid arrangement. Along the way, we give formulas for several other invariants of a hyperplane arrangement.
