We report the results of extensive dynamical cluster approximation calculations, based on a quantum Monte Carlo solver, for the two-dimensional Kondo lattice model. Our particular cluster implementation renders possible the simulation of spontaneous antiferromagnetic symmetry breaking. By explicitly computing the single-particle spectral function both in the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases, we follow the evolution of the Fermi surface across this magnetic transition. The results, computed for clusters up to 16 orbitals, show clear evidence for the existence of three distinct Fermi surface topologies. The transition from the paramagnetic metallic phase to the antiferromagnetic metal is continuous; Kondo screening does not break down and we observe a back-folding of the paramagnetic heavy fermion band. Within the antiferromagnetic phase and when the ordered moment becomes large the Fermi surface evolves to one which is adiabatically connected to a Fermi surface where the local moments are frozen in an antiferromagnetic order.
