Is $GR (\alpha) $ an algebraic integer for an automorphism $\alpha$ of solvable group?

Same setting [as question 140]. Is the $GR$ (of $g$ on $\Gamma$) an algebraic number?

Fibration Theorem for $\log |\lambda| $? If $M = \cup _\alpha N_\alpha, N_\alpha $ submanifolds, with $f(N_\alpha ) = N_\alpha $, is the spectral radius of $f_\ast $ on $M$ $\le$ the sup of the spectral radius of $f_\ast $ on $N_\alpha$’s? If $f|N_\alpha$ is an isometry, does the spectral radius of $f_\ast $ on $M$ $= 1$? Are all distal diffeos built up this way, i.e. by extensions where homology works? Note: There is another Problem 122 that was crossed out.
