Hello Tuan,

   I don't think the number of 10 papers is a definitive indication of a 
genious. Actually, this is not a requirement, just a case I mentioned to 
say that there are different types of Ph.D.

   Narain and Ramond are not the best talanted from Syracuse, by my 
justification. Actually, nowadays any physicists who can have a permanent
position should be considered as a talent. Ramond is famous but he is 
doing very funny stuffs recently.
  The better ones are Rajeev at Rochester and Nair at CUNY. 

  There are several Bal's students who had a lot of pub by the time they 
defend their Ph.D. I cannot remember their names ( Indian and Brasilian
names are hard to memorize). Check Teobinho or any of Bal's student name,
actually I know their fistsname only.

   Bal himself is also a genius. They were involved in a quantum dot stuffs
and generated a lot of papers. So his students should enjoy them.
  Do a find on hep-th or cond-mat under Balachandran. His coauthors are 
all his students.
Cheers
Aiviet
