We propose a toy model for symmetry-breaking or bubbling, in terms of cobordism of manifolds with circle actions free on a possible boundary. The Swan-Tate cohomology t_\T E of a complex-oriented E_∞ ring-spectrum E is the extension of a Hopf algebra by its dual, which provides an algebraic rigidification of geometric interest. This note reviews the cases E = H,K and MU, with special attention to λ-ring structures.
