The review of the following results of the Refs. \citeSem - \citeAns is presented: For mixed state light of N-mode electromagnetic field described by Wigner function which has generic Gaussian form the photon distribution function is obtained and expressed expliciltly in terms of Hermite polynomials of 2N-variables.The momenta of this distribution are calculated and expressed as functions of matrix invariants of the dispersion matrix.The role of new uncertainty relation depending on photon state mixing parameter is elucidated.New sum rules for Hermite polynomials of several variables are found.The photon statistics of polymode even and odd coherent light and squeezed polymode Schrödinger cat light is qiven explicitly.Photon distribution for polymode squeezed number states expressed in terms of multivariable Hermite polynomials is discussed.
