Simple algorithm to test for linking to Wilson loops in percolation.
A simple burning or epidemic type of algorithm is developed in order to test whether any loops in percolation clusters link a fixed reference loop, a problem considered recently by Gliozzi in the context of gauge theory. We test our algorithm at criticality in both two dimensions, where the behavior agrees with a theoretical prediction, and in three dimensions.
