We investigate a non-Hermitian extension of the Kitaev chain by introducing non-reciprocal hopping amplitudes and asymmetric superconducting pairing terms. Exploring the full parameter space, we systematically classify the model’s symmetries and uncover that particle-hole symmetry (PHS) persists throughout the entire non-Hermitian regime. This robust symmetry has striking consequences: it enforces the coincidence of topological phase transition points in both finite and infinite chains—in sharp contrast to the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model [1], where non-Hermiticity shifts the transition due to a modified Brillouin zone structure. The persistence of PHS further implies that Majorana zero modes are immune to the non-Hermitian skin effect, a result we verify analytically by solving for the zero-mode wavefunctions as well as numerically. Interestingly, while the Majorana edge modes see no skin-effect and are localized symmetrically at both the edges, the excited states exhibit edge accumulation, revealing a selective manifestation of non-Hermitian topology. Finally, we construct a Z2 topological invariant that distinguishes the trivial and topological phases, providing a comprehensive characterization of the system’s non-Hermitian topological structure.
