What is the growth rate of the products of binomial coefficients?

Question 1: Are the following empirically observed relationships true $$ {n \choose 1^a}{n \choose 2^a}{n \choose 3^a}\cdots {n \choose m^a} \sim \exp\bigg(\frac{2n^{1 + \frac{1}{a}}}{a+3}\bigg) $$ ...

Mean value of a function with binomial coefficients as weights

Is the following true? Let $a$ be a positive integer and let $t_n$ be a sequence of numbers. We define the binomial mean of $t_n$ $$ \beta_{t_n,a} = \frac{1}{2^n t_n}\sum_{r^a \le n} \binom{n}{r^a}...

Asymptotic for binomial sums

Let $S(n, t) = \sum_{k = 0}^n {n \choose k} ^t$. The task is to find asymptotic behavior of $S(n,5)$, $n \to \infty$. Asymptotic for $S(n,0)$ and $S(n,1)$ is very simple. For $S(n,2)$ we can use ...
