Abstract: Let $X^{n}subset{P}^N$ be a nonsingular, nondegenerate projective variety of dimension $n$ and codimension $N-nge2$. Let $|C_X|$ be the linear system determined by the double-point divisor obtained by generically projecting $X$ to a hypersurface in $P^{n+1}$. We classify those varieties for which $C_X$ is not ample, or equivalently, does not separate points of $X$. We call such varieties Roth varieties and prove that they exist for all dimensions $nge2$ and give a description of their properties. For example, in many cases Roth varieties are Castelnuovo varieties. Positivity results for the double-point divisor are analogous to positivity results for the ramification divisor which are studied in adjunction theory.
