Actually, this particular example is well-known to physicists. See, for example, Jackiw, R.: Topological methods in field theory. Les Houches lectures 1983. What is new here is the better geometrical understanding in terms of holomorphic line bundles, and the idea that holomorphy is a powerful tool for understanding determinants

The generalization of Quillen's theorem has been independently derived by Belavin and Knizhnik. We thank Stephen Della Pietra for pointing out an error in an earlier version of Eq. (4.15). We also thank Phil Nelson and Joe Polchinski for discussions on the application of Eq. (4.15) to holomorphic factorization on moduli space, and on the important difference between Eq. (4.15) and Eq. (4.16)

After this work was completed we received a preprint in which this question is answered in the affirmative. See Manin, Yu.I.: The partition function of the Polyakov string can be expressed in terms of theta functions. Phys. Lett. (submitted)
