A perturbative generator dividing by an unperturbed energy difference cannot eliminate a nonzero coupling between exactly degenerate states. Those states must remain in the retained degenerate block. Small denominators also invalidate an expansion when the actual hopping matrix element, including occupation enhancement, is not small in comparison.
