Let $\mathcal X$ be a Polish space, and let $(N_x)_{x \in \mathcal X}$ be a system of closed neighborhoods in $\mathcal X$. Define $\Omega := \{(x,x') \in \mathcal X^2 \mid N_x \cap N_{x'} = \emptyset\}$, assumed to be open in $\mathcal X^2$. For example in a Banach space $\mathcal X$, an example would be $N_x = x + \varepsilon\mathbb B$ with $\varepsilon > 0$, and this would lead to $\Omega := \{(x,x') \in \mathcal X^2 \mid \|x-x'\| > 2\varepsilon\}$.

Now, let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be probability measures, and consider the quantity $c_\Omega(\mu,\nu)$ defined by

$$
c_\Omega(\mu,\nu) := \inf_{\gamma \in \Pi(\mu,\nu)}\gamma(\Omega).
$$
This is nothing but the transportation distance between $\mu$ and $\nu$, for the binary ground cost given by $c_\Omega(x,x') = 1$ if $(x,x') \in \Omega$; 
$c_\Omega(x,x') = 0$ else.

Finally, define
$$
d_N(\mu,\nu) := \inf_{a_1, a_2} \text{TV}({a_1}_{\#}\mu,{a_2}_{\#}\nu),
$$
where the infimum is take over all measurable $a_1, a_2:\mathcal X \rightarrow \mathcal X$ such that $a_1(x), a_2(x) \in N_x$ for all $x \in \mathcal X$, and $a_{\#}\mu$ denotes the *pushforward* of $\mu$ under $a$

Question
========
- Is there any relationship (equality, inequality, etc.) between $c_\Omega(\mu,\nu)$ and $d_N(\mu,\nu)$ ?

Observations
============
By *data-processing inequality*, $\text{TV}(a_{\#}\mu,a_{\#}\nu) \le \text{TV}(\mu,\nu)$ and so $d_N(\mu,\nu) \le \text{TV}(\mu,\nu)$.
