Fix ξ a unitary vector field on a Riemannian manifold M and γ a non-geodesic Frenet curve on M satisfying the Rytov law of polarization optics. We prove in these conditions that γ is a Legendre curve for ξ if and only if the γ-Fermi–Walker covariant derivative of ξ vanishes. The cases when γ is circle or helix as well as ξ is (conformal) Killing vector filed or potential vector field of a Ricci soliton are analyzed and an example involving a three-dimensional warped metric is provided. We discuss also K-(para)contact, particularly (para)Sasakian, manifolds and hypersurfaces in complex space forms.

We show that a compact contact Ricci soliton with a potential vector field V collinear with the Reeb vector field, is Einstein. We also show that a homogeneous H-contact gradient Ricci soliton is locally isometric to En+1 × Sn(4). Finally we obtain conditions so that the horizontal and tangential lifts of a vector field on the base manifold may be potential vector fields of a Ricci soliton on the unit tangent bundle.
