Here are two typical results about the numbers mentioned in the title:
If p is a prime such that p = 1 (mod 6) and p > 67, then there are ex
actly six numbers mod p, each of which has six sixth roots less than 2
square-root 3p in absolute value. If p is a prime such that p = 1 (mo
d 8), then there is at least one number mod p which has eight eighth r
oots less the p3/4 in absolute value.
