Let \(p\) be an odd prime, \(r\geq 2\) and \(m\geq 3\). The paper proves a decomposition of \(\Omega^2P^m(p^r)\) into an infinite product of other spaces of three types, all of which are closely related to spheres. The result for \(m\) even is a consequence of a known decomposition of a similar type of \(\Omega P^{2n+2}(p^r)\). The main technical point is to show that, for \(m\) odd, i.e. \(2n+1\), a connected homomorphism \(\partial_r:\Omega^2S^{2n+1}\to S^{2n-1}\times \pi_{r+1}\) of a certain fibration factors through the first factor. (Nice consequences are derived from this decomposition). Also some known results about \(D(n,r)\), i.e. the homotopy fibre of the map \(p_1\circ\partial_r\); \(\Omega^2S^{2n+1}\to S^{2n-1}\), are reproved. The author leaves out the situation \(r=1\), but he conjectures that the result should also be true in this case.
