I'm not sure your point <3> makes sense. If you're searching by author, how do you define "the four most relevant titles"? Relevant to what?
If you are searching text of the publications, then displaying authors with no publications seems unhelpful. If you're searching the bios, how do you define "relevant titles"? Or are relevant titles based on some other criteria than you're searching on? But don't get stuck on worrying about duplicate data, denormalization of data is a common practice in Solr/Lucene. But I'm at something of a loss until you clarify what "relevant titles" means when searching for authors.
