contents In this work, we investigate the thermodynamic properties of black holes (BHs) that have non-trivial topological features in their phase diagrams. We consider three different models of BHs: (1) a class of BHs in dRGT massive gravity, which adds a mass term to general relativity; (2) a class of BHs in 5D Yang-Mills massive gravity, which combines dRGT massive gravity with a non-Abelian gauge field; and (3) a D-dimensional RN-AdS BH surrounded by Quintessence and a cloud of strings, which are strange forms of matter that change the thermodynamics of the BH. Our goal is to find the critical points of these BHs, which provide the location of first-order phase transitions and figure out their corresponding topological charges. Topological charges are numbers that show how complicated the BH topology is. Then, we look at these BHs as topological defects in the thermodynamic domain, which is the space of thermodynamic variables like pressure and temperature. We calculate winding numbers to analyze topology on a global and local scale at these defects, which are integers that indicate how many times a curve encircling the defect wraps around the origin. Our analysis reveals that the total topological charge is either equal to 0 or 1 for all models, meaning that the BHs have either a trivial or simple topology. In some cases, we see that the BH's topology belongs to a different thermodynamic topological class. This means that the BHs can go through topological phase transitions.
