Abstract: Let mathfrakg be a complex simple Lie algebra. We classify the parabolic subalgebras mathfrakp of mathfrakg such that the nilradical of mathfrakp has a commutative polarisation. The answer is given in terms of the Kostant cascade. It requires also the notion of an optimal nilradical and some properties of abelian ideals in a Borel subalgebra of mathfrakg. Some invariant-theoretic consequences of the existence of a commutative polarisation are also discussed.
