TITLE: Solve $(\alpha,\beta)$ for $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\sqrt[n^2]{1!2!\cdots n!}}{n^\alpha} = \beta$
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: Find the ordered pair $(\alpha,\beta)$ with non-infinite $\beta \ne 0$ such that $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\sqrt[n^2]{1!2!\cdots n!}}{n^\alpha} = \beta$$
My approach: 
$$\ln (1!2!\cdots n!) = (n)\ln 1 + (n-1)\ln 2 + \cdots + (2)\ln (n-1) + \ln(n) \\ \begin{align} = n\ln\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) + (n-1)\ln\left(\frac{2}{n}\right) + \cdots + \ln\left(\frac{n}{n}\right) + \frac{(n)(n+1)}{2} \ln (n)\end{align}$$
Then $$\ln(\sqrt[n^2]{1!2!\cdots n!}) = \frac{1}{n^2} \ln(1!2!\cdots n!) = \frac{n+1}{n} \cdot \ln n + \frac{1}{n} \left[\sum_{m=1}^n \left(\frac{n+1-m}{n} \cdot \ln \frac{m}{n}\right)\right]$$
And that's about as far as I got. Any ideas about proceeding with this method or perhaps even with a different method?
Thanks

REPLY [7 votes]: As you showed:
$$\ln\left(\sqrt[n^2]{\prod_{k=1}^nk!}\right)=\frac{n^2}2\ln\left(\prod_{k=1}^nk!\right)=\frac1{n^2}\left(\sum_{k=1}^n(n+1-k)\ln(k/n) +\frac{n(n+1)}2\ln n\right)\\S=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac1n\left(1+\frac1n-\frac kn\right)\ln(k/n) +\frac{(1+1/n)}2\ln n$$
See if you can use as suggested by r9m, the relation:
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{k=a}^b\frac1nf(k/n)=\int_{\lim_{n\to\infty}a/n}^{\lim_{n\to\infty}b/n}\quad f(x){\rm d}x$$
When $n\to\infty$:
$$S_{\infty}\sim\int_0^1\ln x{\rm d}x+0-\int_0^1x\ln x{\rm d}x+\frac12\ln n+0=\frac12\ln n-\frac34$$
Note that $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\ln n}n=0$ and $\int(1-x)\ln x=\frac14 x (x-2 (x-2) \ln x-4)+\text{constant}$
So:
$$\beta\sim\frac{e^{-3/4}\sqrt n}{n^{\alpha}}$$
So $\alpha=1/2$ and $\beta=e^{-3/4}$. See related question here

Interesting note
The Barnes G-function "G" is:
$$G(n+2)=\prod_{k=1}^n(k!)$$
and our limit is:
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{[G(n+2)]^{1/n^2}}{\sqrt n}=e^{-3/4}$$
