Abstract
A quantum mechanical path integral derivation is given of a thermal propagator in non-static Gui’s spacetime. The thermal nature of the propagator is understood in terms of homotopically non-trivial paths in the configuration space appropriate to tortoise coordinates. The connection to thermal emission from collapsing black holes is discussed.
