Makes computers understand shapes with symmetry.
We derive a numerical approximation of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with an axial symmetry. To do so we use a noncommutative Laplace operator defined on the space of finite dimensional hermitian matrices. This operator is derived from a foliation of the surface obtained under an $S^1$-action on the surface. We present numerical results in the case of the sphere and a generic ellipsoid.
