Abstract
Black holes in anti de Sitter spacetimes undergo phase transitions which typically lead to the existence of critical points, that can be classified using topological techniques. Availing the Bragg-Williams construction of an off-shell free energy we compute the topological charge of the Hawking-Page (HP) transition for Einstein-Born-Infeld black holes in anti de Sitter (AdS) spacetime and match the result with the confinement-deconfinement transition in the dual gauge theory, which turn out to be in perfect agreement.
