The Martin-Siggia-Rose (MSR) functional integral technique is applied to the dynamics of a D - dimensional manifold in a melt of similar manifolds. The integration over the collective variables of the melt can be simply implemented in the framework of the dynamical random phase approximation (RPA). The resulting effective action functional of the test manifold is treated by making use of the selfconsistent Hartree approximation. As an outcome the generalized Rouse equation (GRE) of the test manifold is derived and its static and dynamic properties are studied. It was found that the static upper critical dimension, $d_{\rm uc}=2D/(2-D)$, discriminates between Gaussian (or screened) and non-Gaussian regimes, whereas its dynamical counterpart, ${\tilde d}_{uc}=2d_{\rm uc}$, distinguishes between the simple Rouse and the renormalized Rouse behavior. We have argued that the Rouse mode correlation function has a stretched exponential form. The subdiffusional exponents for this regime are calculated explicitly. The special case of linear chains, D=1, shows good agreement with MD- and MC-simulations.
