Abstract: The study of modules over a finite von Neumann algebra $mathcalA$ can be advanced by the use of torsion theories. In this work, some torsion theories for $mathcalA$ are presented, compared and studied. In particular, we prove that the torsion theory $$ (in which a module is torsion if it is zero-dimensional) is equal to both Lambek and Goldie torsion theories for $mathcalA$. Using torsion theories, we describe the injective envelope of a finitely generated projective $mathcalA$-module and the inverse of the isomorphism $K_0(mathcalA)o{K}_0(mathcalU),$ where $mathcalU$ is the algebra of affiliated operators of $mathcalA.$ Then, the formula for computing the capacity of a finitely generated module is obtained. Lastly, we study the behavior of the torsion and torsion-free classes when passing from a subalgebra $mathcalB$ of a finite von Neumann algebra $mathcalA$ to $mathcalA$. With these results, we prove that the capacity is invariant under the induction of a $mathcalB$-module.
