Using the Bragg-Williams construction of an off-shell free energy we compute the topological charge of the Hawking-Page transition point for black holes in AdS. A computation following from a related off-shell effective potential in the boundary gauge dual matches the value of topological charge obtained in the bulk. We also compute the topological charges of the equilibrium phases of these systems, which follow from the saddle points of the appropriate free energy. The locally stable and unstable phases turn out to have topological charges opposite to each other, with the total being zero, in agreement with the result obtained from a related construction [arXiv:2208.01932].
