We present the first results of our spatially axisymmetric core-collapse supernova simulations with full Boltzmann neutrino transport, which amount to a time-dependent five-dimensional (two in space and three in momentum space) problem. Special relativistic effects are fully taken into account with a two-energy-grid technique. We performed two simulations for a progenitor of 11.2M(circle dot), employing different nuclear equations of state (EOSs): Lattimer and Swesty's EOS with the incompressibility of K = 220 MeV (LS EOS) and Furusawa's EOS based on the relativistic mean field theory with the TM1 parameter set (FS EOS). In the LS EOS, the shock wave reaches similar to 700 km at 300 ms after bounce and is still expanding, whereas in the FS EOS it stalled at similar to 200 km and has started to recede by the same time. This seems to be due to more vigorous turbulent motions in the former during the entire postbounce phase, which leads to higher neutrino-heating efficiency in the neutrino-driven convection. We also look into the neutrino distributions in momentum space, which is the advantage of the Boltzmann transport over other approximate methods. We find nonaxisymmetric angular distributions with respect to the local radial direction, which also generate off-diagonal components of the Eddington tensor. We find that the r theta component reaches similar to 10% of the dominant rr component and, more importantly, it dictates the evolution of lateral neutrino fluxes, dominating over the theta theta component, in the semitransparent region. These data will be useful to further test and possibly improve the prescriptions used in the approximate methods.
