AbstractGiven a matrix $A\in SL(N,\mathbb{Z})$, form the semidirect product $G=\mathbb{Z}^N\rtimes_A \mathbb{Z}$ where the $\mathbb{Z}$-factor acts on $\mathbb{Z}^N$ by $A$. Such a $G$ arises naturally as the fundamental group of an $N$-dimensional torus bundle which fibers over the circle. In this article, we prove that if $A$ has distinct eigenvalues not lying on the unit circle, then there exists a finite index subgroup $H\leq G$ possessing rational growth series for some generating set. In contrast, we show that if $A$ has at least one eigenvalue not lying on the unit circle, then $G$ is not almost convex for any generating set.
