Some results on Whitney numbers of Dowling lattices

In this paper, we study some properties of Whitney numbers of Dowling lattices and related polynomials. We answer the following question: there is relation between Stirling and Eulerian polynomials. Can we find a new relation between Dowling polynomials and other polynomials generalizing Eulerian polynomials? In addition, some congruences for the Dowling numbers are given.
