From Peter Bala, Jan 24 2020: (Start)

a(p^k) == a(p^(k-1)) ( mod p^(3*k) ) for any prime p >= 5 and any positive integer k (write a(n) as C(12*n,6*n)*C(6*n,3*n)/C(4*n,n) and use Mestrovic, equation 39, p. 12).

More generally, for this sequence and the other integer factorial ratio sequences listed in the cross references, the congruences a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) ( mod p^(3*k) ) may hold for any prime p >= 5 and any positive integers n and k. (End)

a(n*p) == a(n) ( mod p^3 ) are proved for all such sequences in Section 5 of Zudilin's article. - Wadim Zudilin, Jul 30 2021

G.f.: hypergeom([1/12, 5/12, 7/12, 11/12], [1/3, 1/2, 2/3], 27648*x).

From Karol A. Penson, May 08 2018 (Start):

Asymptotics: a(n) ~ (2^n)^10*(3^n)^3*sqrt(3/n)*(2592*n^2+72*n+1)/(15552*n^2*sqrt(Pi)), for n->infinity.

Integral representation as the n-th moment of the positive function V(x) on x = (0, 27648), i.e. in Maple notation: a(n) = int(x^n*V(x), x = 0..27648), n=0,1..., where V(x) = 3^(3/4)*sqrt(2)*hypergeom([1/12, 5/12, 7/12, 3/4], [1/6, 1/2, 2/3], (1/27648)*x)*GAMMA(3/4)/(36*sqrt(Pi)*x^(11/12)*GAMMA(2/3)*GAMMA(7/12))+3^(1/4)*sqrt(2)*cos(5*Pi*(1/12))*GAMMA(2/3)*csc((1/12)*Pi)*GAMMA(3/4)*hypergeom([5/12, 3/4, 11/12, 13/12], [1/2, 5/6, 4/3], (1/27648)*x)/(4608*Pi^(3/2)*GAMMA(11/12)*x^(7/12))+3^(1/4)*cos(5*Pi*(1/12))*GAMMA(11/12)*hypergeom([7/12, 11/12, 13/12, 5/4], [2/3, 7/6, 3/2], (1/27648)*x)/(6912*sqrt(Pi)*GAMMA(2/3)*GAMMA(3/4)*x^(5/12))+7*3^(3/4)*sin(5*Pi*(1/12))*GAMMA(2/3)*GAMMA(7/12)*hypergeom([11/12, 5/4, 17/12, 19/12], [4/3, 3/2, 11/6], (1/27648)*x)/(2654208*Pi^(3/2)*GAMMA(3/4)*x^(1/12)). The function V(x) is singular at both edges of its support and is U-shaped. The function V(x) is unique as it is the solution of the Hausdorff moment problem. (End)

D-finite with recurrence: n*(3*n-1)*(2*n-1)*(3*n-2)*a(n) -24*(12*n-11)*(12*n-1)*(12*n-5)*(12*n-7)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 27 2020
